Open Mic from 7 pm til 8:30 pm, followed by OUR Feature Performers, Elk the Moose – the musical collaboration of a talented duo, whose beginnings were cast in the musically rich region of Peterborough, Ontario. The band traveled this beautiful country before settling here in the Okanagan. Kyle Chivers and Kevin Inch blend folk and reggae with hallucinogenic rhythms and deliver a raw, melodic expression of their lyrical exploration of land, space, existence, and the depths of personal shadows and light.

Like a lot of people who are going to see the Tragically Hip on the farewell tour that starts tonight in Victoria, it will be an emotional show.  People I’ve talked to are not too sure what to expect.  The Vancouver show on Sunday will be the 2nd show of the tour and for me, it’ll be my 8th time seeing them.  Almost 21 years to the day from my first Hip show I saw while in University.  Every show was unique, unexpected and amazing! Who remembers the great show in Kelowna’s City park in 2003?
